My name is Laramie Joe, my friends call me LJ. I have short white hair and am a good boy. I like all other dogs, little people and big as
well. It takes me a minute or so to warm up to strangers that come into the house but as soon as I get a good look at you, I go on about my business. I don’t jump up on anyone, I come when called; sit on command and am excellent on walks and car rides. I am good in the house and I prefer to have a bed on the floor whereever you tell me to sleep. I am not a fan of the crate. Overall, I'm just a good Lab that is in need of a new home because my owner took sick and never came home. I do miss him but I am ready to make a new life with a new family.

I love to be petted and your arm will get tired before I do. Hope you got a good arm because I can’t get enough of fetching that tennis ball, and if you don’t have a good arm I come with a tennis ball launcher, so no problem. 

Get ready. My bags are packed!

Wynter has a sweet and loving temperament. She is calm, quiet, housebroken, leash and crate trained, and will keep your backyard free of rabbits and squirrels. In addition, she loves to snuggle!

At her age, Wynter is beginning to have achy joints. She has been diagnosed with arthritis in her left knee and early signs of hip dysplasia. The Veterinarian suggests keeping her lean, minimizing high impact activity, glucosamine supplements and pain medication. Short daily walks will help with flexibility in the joints as well as strengthening of the muscles around the joints. 

Wynter is a reactive dog and needs a family who is willing to continue working with her and not place her in uncomfortable situations. When walking on a leash, she appreciates social distancing with unfamiliar dogs. My Labrador and Wynter get along great and enjoy hanging out together. If you are willing to invest in her wellness, Wynter will give you unconditional love and companionship in return. She sleeps in the computer room while I work and joins me outside while I garden. And, you will never need to look for Wynter because she will follow you from room to room carrying her stuffed toy. 

Please let us know if you feel Wynter fits into your lifestyle.

Howdy my name is Houston. I'm big like the city I'm named after. I love to snuggle and take naps with my fosters. I love being outside running around and playing with all my puppy toys. My foster mom says I like to sun bathe and that I am getting a little brown tint because of it but I am just loving the weather.

I can't wait to meet my forever family. I just know we are going to have so much fun. We are working on my potty training as I am still young but I do sleep through the night and only whimper if I need to go out potty. I love my dinner and breakfast so I will wake up and eat when you eat. I do love playing with kids especially if they will play tug with me. I hope that you can be my forever home!

Mini Pie is the sweetest, most snuggly little Lab I've ever met. Everyone who meets her agrees. She is a quick learner and eager to please. She is very social once she gets to know you but she does take a little time to warm up to new folks. She's learning to walk on the leash and she does great on short walks. She is fine with other dogs and makes friends quickly. She is afraid of cars, bikes and really anything that moves quickly, until she's seen it a few times.  She is good with children. Mini Pie is a crate trained and learns her boundaries quickly! After she's with you in your space for two to three days she will get comfortable and be your best snuggly buddy for life!

Hello! My name is Zak. I am a big, playful dog that is always SO excited to meet new humans and dogs. My hobbies include being petted, going for frequent short walks, wrestling with other dogs, and swimming. I take treats gently and I love to cuddle on the couch. I don't really like being outside that much, because I tend to get hot and I want to be where the people are! I also don't like when my humans leave the house, but I can be left out and I never get into trouble while they're away.

I don't jump up on people or countertops, and I only bark when there's something important to say - like "someone's at the door!" or "I'm excited to play!" I'm very active for a guy my age and I want a family that is willing to give me the exercise I need. My foster mom says I'm one of the smartest dogs she's ever met, so I think I would really like learning new tricks with my family. I would do well as a solo dog or with a sibling, but any other dogs in the house should be okay with playing because I LOVE to play!

I would love to find a family that will cherish me and give me all the love, pets, and attention I deserve. One look into my gentle brown eyes and you will fall in love with me!

Initial intake information:Yellow Female  65 lbs - Bonded pair w/Peyton will be adopted out together

Hello, we’re Peyton (Chocolate) and Sammi (Yellow). We’ve been friends so long you may as well call us sisters. Because of this, we’d really like to be adopted together. Here are three things we LOVE: 1) Belly Rubs! 2) Napping 3) Playing with kiddos! We have spent the majority of our lives alone without kids while our human parents worked. Our foster family has kids (8, 6, and 4) that we can’t get enough of! We’re looking for a home full of love and hopefully with some kids we can play with.

Hey y’all, it’s Sammi. I’m a laid back girl who fits in almost anywhere. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, going for walks and runs with my Foster Mom. I also still like retrieving and playing with my Foster kids. I feel comfortable just about anywhere and love sleeping in my kennel. Even though I’m 6, I’m still learning new tricks!

Note from Foster Parents: Peyton and Sammi are incredibly sweet and outstanding with our kids. They are housebroken, leash trained, microchipped, spayed, and disciplined around the dinner table. They’ve never nosed around on the countertops and are great around meal time. They love to play and are both soft mouthed when retrieving. Each have handled the transition well and are calm outside.  They still have some of their signature “Lab energy" but are overall quite docile. Sammi is kennel trained and very comfortable in hers.

Peyton here. I’m as loyal as the day is long. I’ll stay by your side and can’t imagine life without my little sister Sammi. (I say little, even though she’s bigger than me.) I really like walks, but at my age, long walks on the beach are out of the picture…I tend to prefer short walks around the block. I get anxious in a kennel but I’m working on getting used to it. I prefer to lay down on a floor mat or my dog bed.

Hello there! Aren't I handsome? I recently found my way back to Lab Rescue after living in a wonderful home for the past 2 years. Unfortunately my parents weren't able to care for me anymore, so now I'm back and ready to find another awesome home! Because I was so well taken care of, I'm a healthy, good looking boy who knows all sorts of cool things. I don't potty in the house, I know the names of my toys, I can sit, I can shake...all kinds of good stuff!

I'm a big fella and sometimes don't realize my size - I just love people and toys so much! I would do best in a home with older children and I would honestly prefer to be the only dog. I like to play with my dog foster brother, but at the end of the day I love the good life of being the only pup.

From his foster mom: McCain is a very sweet, loving boy who has handled his transition very nicely. He's housebroken and crate trained and sleeps quietly in his dog bed at night. He loves people and is an excellent companion dog. He is a smart boy who loves to work and would be excellent with any training his new family would like to provide. He would do best as an only dog as he's still learning his boundaries when it comes to playing with other pups. Thanks for reading about this sweet boy - he can't wait to meet you!

Gorgeous George is, well, gorgeous! We all know it’s the inside that counts, though, but good news: George is a top contender not only for Most Handsome, but also Bestest Boy. He is happy go lucky, loyal, an appreciative eater, and chill as ... well, whatever the kids are saying these days!

Sometimes he will chase a ball, often he will play with a toy, and usually he will comply with “Sit.” Other times, he won’t!  However, even when he declines to participate, he is entirely pleasant and polite about it.

Gorgeous George is fully house-trained, but prefers not to potty unless a tree or bush is available. If a bush is available, he believes it is the best place to go “big potty.” George values privacy - he is a gentleman like that. He loves daily walks, petting, and kisses on the head. He likes to be told he is handsome, which is no problem since people tend to shout it out at him as he trots and/or saunters - tail sociably wagging - around the neighborhood.

If you don’t want George to get on the furniture, that’s fine - he will only get on it after you leave the house.

George does not agree with being crated, but he sleeps silently on his dog bed the entire night. He is very quiet and is trusted fully in his foster home. Disclaimer: he is untested with kids and cats. His only inadmirable feature (besides dining on dead squirrels) is that he believes the winner in a game of tug should always be Gorgeous George. No mercy.

In short, Gorgeous George is a most wonderful boy and deserves a most wonderful life! He is undergoing treatment for heartworms and may have some allergies, but will be in good shape in no time and ready for a forever home.

Hello everybody! My rescue name is Acacia (we are pronouncing it A-cass-e-a) and, although it may not be my forever name, I respond very well & always come when called! My beginnings were a bit rough but I am resilient! I love to play with toys, other dogs and I love to chew on a horn, antler or hoof. I am prey driven, so cats and squirrels beware! I am a dog that responds very well to praise. I'm a sensitive gal and will just shut down to any heavy handed corrections - I simply don't know know how to react. I love living in a house for the first time and going for walks. It's a good thing I'm a small girl, because I will climb right into your lap for head scratches!

Acacia is very sweet, smart, and learns quickly. She plays very well with other dogs, and while she absolutely loves her toys, she's also good at sharing. This little lovebug will fit into any active home.

Hi, I'm Whisky and I get along with everyone and everything I meet.  I LOVE humans of all sizes, especially the little ones. I just can’t seem to get enough toys, oh how I love them! Jumping and barking, that kinda stuff ain’t for me! I am a big boy and can communicate my love and wants with my humans friends in other calmer ways. I’m currently working on getting back in shape, I love my walks, I play a lot all day long and sadly also have to watch how much I eat. I’ve been told I’m so good looking already, so I guess it must be working!  I am not bothered by squirrels and I walk really well on the leash so I'm hoping that there are lots of walks in my future. 

While I prefer to be out and about with my human family, I don’t complain at all about being crated. I let my foster family read books to me and pretend like I'm understanding everything. But in all honesty, I just LOVE when they sit by my side and give me the quiet attention - shhh, don't tell them! I'm not your regular hyper lab either and reflect very well with the energy in the room. Play when you want to and chill out and be loved when you want me to. I’m mindful of not jumping on beds and couches, I know many of y’all don’t like that kinda stuff. I know some basic commands and enjoy my treats like a grown up does. And oh! I am fully potty trained and do so well with new places too!

I can't wait for you to meet me and give me some belly rubs!

Norman is getting more comfortable and confident everyday. If allowed on the furniture he will curl up next to you for lots of head and neck rubs. If you are working from home Norman will gladly keep you company sitting or laying down by your feet. He’s a smart boy and, in one week, he has learned come, sit, and walks well on a leash. Norman’s house manners are improving daily but it is a work in progress. He will need a consistent schedule and training to ensure no accidents happen in the house. He is essentially a big puppy that needs love and attention and will reward you with kisses and cuddles.

Hi my name is Hitch and I may have had a really ruff start but I hit the jackpot when DFW Lab Rescue found me!!!! I have been having the best time learning to be a puppy at my foster home. My foster mom says I'm the sweetest little love bug around, I love to play and run in the backyard, eat, sleep and I especially love snuggly belly rubs. Also she has taught me to come, sit and almost shake, I even pee and poop outside.......if you don't know that's pretty cool at my age. Foster mom just says I'm smarter than most puppies.

I am good with my foster family's Golden and 13 yr old daughter. I would also be a great only dog too. I am best with older kids who know how to behave around puppies, and fine being your first baby too. I would thrive in either situation. I love that my foster family is quite active and would love to have that in my furever home as well.

If you've been looking for a pup I just may be the best boy you've ever met. I am a loving sweet pea, instantly yours and will make a great life long companion.

Hi! I’m Mavrick! My siblings and I were found along the side of the road - but since then things have gotten way better! My foster mom says I am a really smart puppy! I quickly learned how to use the doggy door, sit, signal when I need to go potty (although I occasionally have an accident when my foster mom isn’t paying attention to me), and sleep through the night!  

I am not the biggest fan of my crate but I do love my play pen, being outside, playing with other dogs, car rides, playing soccer with my two legged foster brothers, chewing on bones and sticks, and belly rubs. While I have a lot of energy, in the evening you will find me on someone’s lap giving puppy kisses and snuggles. I cannot wait to find my forever home!!!

Cypress is a very happy and active puppy.  He loves playing with his brother and running around, chasing toys and balls and in general just living a much better life.  Both Cypress and his brother Hickory came from to us from living under a porch and are learning house rules but adjusting very quickly. Cypress crates easily with a little treat incentive and sleeps mostly through the night. He is working very hard on not jumping up to try to get your food and to always remember to do his business outside. He would probably best best as an only dog, at least for a while, to encourage his continuted socialization with  people.

Cypress will be a great addition to any family and I have no doubt he will grow to be an awesome dog.

Hickory is a super sweet and loving boy.  He is being fostered with his brother who is a little bigger and frankly let's him know it. But this boy keeps playing and smiling and giving kisses. He really is pure joy.  Sure he can be a little bit of a puppy every once in a while, but he is easily distracted and redirected where he needs to be. Both Hickory and his brother came to us from under a porch where they were living.  They are learning house rules (don't eat lamp cords, do your business outside, don't jump up trying to take other people's food) but they are making fast progress.  Hickory crates fairly easily (with a few treats) and sleeps nicely most of the night.  

He would probably best best as an only dog, at least for a while, to encourage his continuted socialization with  people.

This guy would make a wonderful addition to any family and will grow up to be a great dog.

Augusto is a very sweet, smart, and cuddly little pocket-lab! He's definitely potty trained but isn't quite house trained yet, he is an active chewer and he hasn't really learned what's off-limits just yet. He loves playing with my dog and running around outside. He's a big fetcher and is active but can also be calm when needed, especially at night time. He'll be a very sweet, easy dog with a little age and additional training.

Hi! My name is Crash. My life has been a little crazy lately, but I think with all the changes I've handled it well. I'm currently in a home with two other dogs like me. I like having them around. They like to run, go for walks and swim. I like to run and go for walks. The swimming I'm not so sure about right now. Let me tell you about the two cats. I truly don't mind them. If I get too bouncy they just put me in my place. I'm also trying very hard to go into my crate without being scared or running away. I don't mind it once I'm in and am learning it's my safe place. My foster family has made this transition easy for me. They love to cuddle and pet me. I really like that. They call me a big polar bear :)

I'm ready to find my forever family. Ready to move on and live my best lab life. Thanks for considering me!!
